Title
Consideration of the Preliminary Plat for Kraewood Addition.
Body
Action Requested:
The Planning Commission is requested to review and provide a recommendation to the City Council on the preliminary plat for Kraewood Addition.
Summary Report:
Rebound Real Estate has applied for a preliminary plat to create Kraewood Addition on property known as the Paulson Christmas Tree Farm.

Sanitary Sewer and Water:
All necessary utilities are available adjacent to the site from multiple locations and will be extended into the public streets.
Stormwater:
Staff will be working with the applicant to ensure final stormwater detention requirements are being met and reflected in final engineering and construction documents. Preliminary review suggests the stormwater detention/infiltration basins proposed for the project should be adequate to meet the infiltration volume, rate and flow control required under the City of Northfield Code. The filtration basins are located throughout the proposed plat in Outlot A, Outlot D and on Lot 1 Block 5 (the location of the proposed apartment building).
Streets, sidewalks and trails:
This project includes public street, utility and sidewalk connections that will connect to existing streets, and in one case allow for a future extension.
* Kraewood Drive will run through the parcel (North/South) connecting with Lincoln Parkway and Greenvale A...
